No the springs are plenty stiff to keep it from being bouncy. It is just about perfect.

hmmm... indeed...
I have 15 minutes to kill at lunch. I think I will try that. I am currently at 8-clicks from the stiffest both front and back. I am going down to the parking garage now and will report back after lunch.

Would the changes be immediate or do you have to drive the car around for a few miles?

Turned the knob all the way to mush! Not bad/bouncy at all. Like the OP said, the springs are plenty stiff enough to still retain the sporting characteristics. Will have an update tonight after I drive it on dreaded I-5. It took me 2.5 hours to work this morning. Damn the Cal Trans and theie sweepers!!! Why can't you do this in the middle of the night!!!

Well, I had to take a 15 minute restroom break on the way too but yea it was ridiculous. I usually take the train in but I have a dinner meeting tonight. Normallym, it's a 1.25 hour drive (32 miles) during rush hour but it was compounded by the stupid sweepers!!! ugh!

Bathroom breaks are for the weak Jason. Next time bring a bottle.. HAHA jk. I'm sure driving the E60 can't be that bad of a situation.. just the traffic must be killer.
